It is based on a discredited paper that denied there was a pandemic at all, and blamed spikes in excess mortality on vaccines that actually corresponded to surges of COVID-19 deaths. https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/analysis-claiming-covid-19-vaccines-killed-17-million-people-flawed/ https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.33XF3CN https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/jan/17/instagram-posts/covid-19-vaccines-saved-lives-did-not-cause-17-mil/ https://www.logicallyfacts.com/en/fact-check/false-covid-19-vaccines-did-not-kill-17-million-people
